Things to note. Installed minimal FreeBSD 6.2, and MySQL 5.1 and Apache 2.2. Now I will install PHP5 for Apache.

root@freebsd:/usr/ports/lang/php5#
cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-dist /usr/local/etc/php.ini 

II. Configure PHP5 for Apache

Add support for PHP to the Apache.

root@freebsd:/usr/local/etc/apache22#
cd /usr/local/etc/apache22

root@freebsd:/usr/local/etc/apache22#
 vi httpd.conf

# This line should have been added by the PHP5 installation,
 #if you had Apache22 installed

 LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache22/libphp5.so

# Then I edited the DirectoryIndex and added index.php

     <IfModule dir_module>

          DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

     </IfModule>

# And also added this to the <IfModule mime_module> section

     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

     AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Create a test page.

root@freebsd:/usr/local/etc/apache22#
 echo “<? phpinfo(); ?>” >
 /usr/local/www/www.aminonline.com/test.php

root@freebsd:/usr/local/etc/apache22#
 apachectl configtest

         Syntax OK

root@freebsd:/usr/local/etc/apache22#
 apachectl restart

Now I point my browser to http://www.aminonline.com/test.php
and I should see a page showing details of my PHP configuration.
You should see a page similiar to this:
